And now to something completely different
OK, the first draft is done.
Now I really have to let it lie for a while. Dunno how you guys work, but I start editing while still writing -- IMO catching plot holes is much easier that way, and I think it's easier (for me) to make it more coherent.
Anyway, the first chappie is with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
camillo1978 now, and the rest will follow step by step.
Then I'll be going to Vienna anyway (July 4-11), and after that I may allow myself the second round of editing.
I guess I already said so, but repeating doesn't hurt:
1) if the darling modses need a pinch hitter, I can step in
2) if any fellow author needs a beta job (Brit-picking I can do to a certain extent but would rather leave it to the Brits for obvious reasons), feel free to say so
In very, very different news:
I've been eating next to no carbs for about four weeks. I've never felt in better shape, I'm losing weight -- its great.
I daresay that it's not right for everybody, but for me it is. Fits like a glove, and I don't feel like I'm dieting, I just changed my lifestyle. (Thanks btw toharrietvane for the link!!)
What's most amazing is the fact that I don't miss bread, pasta or potatoes. Of course, if I felt like eating some, I would -- it's food, after all, and not a religion -- but so far all I do is have a muesli snack from time to time before I exercise.
I'm also surprised that 1) I'm not hungry very often and 2) the hunger feels different -- there's no more of that knee-wobbling, hands-trembling hunger I got before. Which is pretty much obvious -- if you don't eat carbs, your blood sugar levels will behave differently -- but nonetheless extremely satisfactory.
